Sorry you are wrong, he walked out on Palace and they took out an injunction that stopped him taking the Birmingham job, Wednesday could do the same. From what I read he can't take the job then until compensation is sorted out.

In that case am glad I am wrong.

I said it was "less silly" than the suggestion that Wilder was about to leave United. 

 

I can't say I blame him.  A chance to manage his boyhood club, in the Prem, versus a chance to manage a club with serious financial issues and players on big wages and out of contract, in the Championship.

 

It will be interesting to see who Wednesday bring in next?  An unheard of foreign manager with no knowledge of the EFL?  Or will they go for the "sentimental approach" and offer it to Lee Bullen?

 

I think they will offer it to Lee Bullen.  Good luck to him if they do - but he'll have a tough job on his hands - a major overhaul of the club is needed and I think you need managerial experience and lots of it to pull that one off successfully.

Daniel Farke and David Wagner were both unheard of foreign managers, they didn't do too badly. There's no sentiment in football and Bullen has admitted himself that the jobs too big for him.

 

What are the serious financial issues?

Bullen has been a good caretaker type so they do have breathing space. Good riddance to the guy ,I would normally say good luck too, but will pass on that bit.

He's managing Schalke. No chance he leaves for a Championship club.

If he has resigned and has no job to go to which has yet he has not who pays the compo.He has not been offered the job yet so that must put the magpies in the clear or am I wrong?It sounds very fishy to me.I always said before he arrived he was the wrong guy and now he has proved me right .WHAT A  ABSOLUTE PLONKER.

It doesn't make a difference I've read, it just makes clear his intentions. I'd be doing what I can if I was chansiri to make sure he can't join them till the compo is sorted.

Derek Dooley must be having a good chuckle.

Trouble is, if the owner holds out to spite Bruce, it could affect his ability to attract a "name" manager to replace him.

Apparently Chris Hughton has put himself out of the running for the Owls hot seat.
